I Love My Job: Deeks’ Surf Log 4/16/23

We are so much better solving cases than parenting teenagers. I know what it takes for a disadvantaged youth to get into college, so I know what Rosa needs to do if she’s going to succeed in this world. baton twirling is not one of them. Besides she can get hurt. Kensi is trying to get me to see the other side and I know we can’t send her out into the world wrapped in bubble wrap but geez does it always have to be this hard?  Our cases show us every day what we have to worry about as parents. Not knowing what happens to your kids when they leave the house every morning is something we all have to find ways to deal with. But Kensi and I were never eased into this parenting thing!  Bam!  Just like that we were parents of an almost adult. I knew it would be hard becoming a parent, but this is almost unbearable. The only thing that keeps me sane is knowing Kensi will get me through it. If she doesn’t kill me first. 

And can I say that when my career comes to an end, the only thing I will not miss is my homeless undercover persona. I mean why am I always the best man for the job?  What’s wrong with a homeless Calen or Sam?  I want to hang this stinky coat up for good. God, I love my job.
